The Boss has retired.

Man, what happened to Bruce Springsteen? When he was young, he was the crazy New Jersyer from ovah by the shoah, that sang for the working man, belted out some heartfelt rock and wrote 'The River' and this awesome (my favorite) ballad. I like the lyrics and Clarence's red suit(always) and Bruce jumping off the damn piano and just wearing it out. Not to mention I wonder what it would be like for a strange woman to approach you and touch you as if you were some god, as done in this video (Don't you hate when embedding is disabled?): Stuck somewhere in the swamps of Jersey

Then, next thing you know he's bopping around with Courtney Cox after hitting GNC, hard. Other than hitting the gym, he released "Born in the USA," not to be confused with "Born to Run." Although I must admit it was a pretty good album and was a unifying piece of work, but it's when he crossed the line. I grew up near Darlington County, so he had 15,000 sure sales right there.

Now when I see him it's usually for some democrat fundraiser or on a commercial for AIDS or something. Whatever mellowed him out, I don't want.
